Product description
This brigandine or coat of plates is a replica of an original from 1361. It was found in a mass grave in Visby on the Swedish island of Gotland. On July 22, 1361, King Valdemar IV of Denmark attacked the Swedish island of Gotland. Valdemar's army consisted of experienced professional soldiers, while the troops defending Visby were mainly armed militia. 600 years later, archaeologists discovered a mass grave where fallen members of this armed militia had been dumped and buried. The grave reveals the grim reality of 14th-century warfare and offers unique insights into how ‘ordinary people’ armed and armored themselves during 14th-century conflicts. Various examples of this brigandine have been found. They were made from steel plates covered with leather, forming a steel-leather armor. They were likely worn over a gambeson. In the 13th century, this type of coat of plates was worn over mail by European aristocracy. Like the original, this brigandine is made of multiple metal plates attached to the leather backing with rivets. With the leather straps at the back, the brigandine can be easily adjusted for a better fit. This brigandine offers good protection during reenactment battles and can be used to create an authentic reproduction of a late 13th, 14th, or early 15th-century foot soldier.
